Although he hasn’t been on the scene for long, we can already tell that Lauv is an artist not afraid of smashing industry stereotypes. The LA-based pop talent has just dropped his new single ‘Chasing Fire’, except instead of the track forming part of a traditional EP or album, he simply adds new material to an ongoing playlist project called ‘I met you when I was 18’. It’s incredibly refreshing to see an artist adopt this modern and streaming-friendly approach to delivering the songs, and the track itself is a banger, with slick pop melodies and a killer chorus. Check it out below and catch Lauv in London on 17^th April at the O2 Academy, Islington with Jeremy Zucker. –Holly Manners
